BUSINESS AND MINING NOTES
Utah Mining Camps-Sunshine and
Good Timcs-Sundry Items

Miners and business men down from
Park City, Alta and Bingham, tell us OF
plenty OF snow good sleighing, and lively
work up in these lively camps. The
storm campaign appears to be over. and
the white ranges stand out brilliantly IN
the welcome sunshine OF to-day In
Bingham heavily loaded sleighs filled to
overlooking with the liberal outcome
side OF the district daily file
at the depot EOn the Butterfield side,
the wagon road from the foothills to the
smelters are heavy and seriously inter-
fere with shipping at present. Dumps
and ore bins are crowded to overflow
ing. The Yosemite is bringing to the
surface from the lately opened bonanza
lots OF good grade ore, heaps OF the stuff.
AS soon as the roads are in good
order Il continuous volume of mineral
will flow from the mines on that side OF
the old Reliable, in the direction OF the
smelters
ing mines keep on the even tenor
results. The Southern Ttdh Times
is shipping i'm so ton lot OF ore from the
Bonanza mine to the Stormont Works.
Burt and Opie are taking fine ore from
teaching works to handle their own pro-
ducts. The Stormont mill may close at
an early day while the company push
itor mill has closed for the winter and

shipped bullion to market, and finally,
that obituary poets are drug in the
Frisco market, and the LOYAL League is
in tlourishing condition.
From outside camps news OF good
strokes and an unusual activity for a
winter campaign reaches us. The IIovey
Brothers, with other Salt Lake parties,
have persistently followed very promis-
ing vein of milling ore near Raft River
with reported good results.
Rich silver ore is being extracted from
the Jones mine, near the mouth Of Car
son creek, some three miles from Angels
Camp. Mr.. Dockstader, the superintend-
ent, showed Il small piece OF the ore the
other day, which competent judges claim
will assay a thousand dollars a ton in
silver
The prospects for Il prosperous season
in quartz mining in Sierra county, Ne
vada, have never been more favorable.
Rich quartz deposits are being unearthed
every day, and parties are out in the hills
actively engaged in searching for the
precious metal. Capitalists are already
alive to the fact that Sierra county is the
leading mining county in the State.
The Martinez Sentinel SAYS: d. S. Car
penter informs us that parties who have
been prospecting on the side of Mount
Diablo for the past three months have
discovered well-defined lead of argen-
tiferous quartz, in paying quantities. He
accompanied two other gentlemen to the
spot Il day or two since and collected
some specimens that are really fine, and
assay $500 to the ton. The rock is the
well-known white and gray quartz, full
OF sulphurets and easily worked.
Many carloads OF ore have recently
been shipped to the new works at Reno,
Nevada, in addition to what we may cali
the regular shipments from Lookout,
Darwin and Cerro Gordo. Heretofore
the most of tho ore shipped has been
silver lead, but about ten cars of the re-
cent shipments are gold ores, with
different lots OF high grade silver ores,
some OF the latter assaying as high as
81 900 per ton and over. These lots are
IRON different mines, and from both sides
OF the Inyo range.
